from hershapeinthedoorway:
"Being a feminist does not mean you hate men.
Being a feminist does not mean you think you are the better sex.
Being a feminist does not mean you have to identify with a particular political party or religion (or atheism or agnosticism or eastern philosophy, for that matter).
Being a feminist does not mean you are necessarily pro-choice, though many pro-choice people are feminists (some might disagree with me here, and that’s okay. But I think feminism is more inclusive than it is exclusive).
Being a feminist does mean you think the sexes are equal, and that women and men are generally equally qualified to do most things. A feminist most likely agrees a woman can be a NASCAR driver and a man can be a stay-at-home dad.
Being a feminist does mean that you are against the degradation of women. You don’t want to see them raped, or beaten, or enslaved. You want women to have essential human rights.
Being a feminist does mean that you care about women’s issues, and about finding the best answers to the hardest questions that surround women (again, feminists often differ on what is best for women, but they are all trying, hopefully, in authentic manners to figure these things out).
And feminism is not an exclusively female club. Men can be feminists. Many are. My husband is one of the many.
LADIES, stop saying “you are starting to think like a feminist” or “don’t mean to sound like a feminist” as if that is a BAD thing. Because if you are saying these things, you might be unclear on the actual definition of feminism. Or, maybe you’re actually a misogynist.
(Sorry if we’re just going over the basics here, but I’m seeing a lot of ignorance on the web, still, about this issue). "
I do not agree with everything said here, but I wanted to share it anyway but if their is anything to clear up here is that you can be a feminist, beeing male or female...neither...both. Your gendre doesn't mean shit when related with your political views...
Just for the record.
